Job Description
for paragraphs,
for section headers, - for list items. No CSS classes, no inline styles, no , no
. Preserve all original content word-for-word, do not add/remove/rephrase. So we need to parse the given text and output HTML accordingly.
Given the input includes some HTML tags already: , , , etc. We need to preserve content but reformat using only allowed tags. However we must preserve original content word-for-word, meaning we cannot change the text itself, but we can change tags? The instruction: "Preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase". That suggests we should keep the exact same textual content, but we can change markup to meet required tags. However we must not add or remove any text characters. Changing tags is allowed as it's not text content. But we must ensure we don't inadvertently remove text like & etc. We should keep them as is.
We need to convert the given snippet into HTML with only ,
, - . No other tags like , , etc. But the rule says preserve original content word-for-word. If we strip and , we would be removing those tags, but the content inside them remains. However the tags themselves are not part of the "content"? The instruction ambiguous. Usually they mean keep the textual content, not the markup. So we can replace with nothing (just keep the text). Similarly for we keep the URL text and maybe the link? But we cannot keep tag because not allowed. We could keep the URL as plain text. That would be removing the tag but not the text inside. That's permissible as we are not adding/removing text content. The URL is inside the tag; we need to keep the URL text. So we can output the URL as plain text.
Also we need to handle etc. Keep them as is.
We need to identify sections: There are headings marked with like "About the Hub", "About The Role", "Position Responsibilities". Those should become
. Also maybe "About the Hub" etc.
We need to wrap paragraphs in
. List items already in
- . We need to keep them but ensure no extra tags like inside li? The li text includes "Business Development & Partnerships Building:" etc. There's no extra tags inside li besides the text. So we can keep
- as is.
We need to remove any ,
, etc. There's a empty paragraphs; we should keep them? They are empty; preserving content word-for-word would keep them as empty . But we are not allowed to use etc, but is allowed. Empty
is okay.
We also need to remove any stray formatting like inside text; we keep them.
We need to ensure no other tags like , , < etc. So we need to strip those.
Let's extract the textual content and rebuild.
